First, I love comments! As long as you aren’t advertising a poker or porn site — I have to delete those.<\/p>\n
Jan makes some great comments. Yes, after the first week, I haven’t found symlin to be that great of a wonder drug either. I’m definately using less insulin, but I am not getting the weight loss, etc. I did before, and my calorie count is much lower.<\/p>\n
I’m hoping that some of the problem is that my activity level has been the lowest it’s been this summer, due to the amount of writing I’ve been doing. I’ve honestly spent hours at the computer on my projects.<\/p>\n
I’ll also admit that for the past almost 3 years, diabetes management has been a full time, on my mind, no matter what I am doing, job. It is a drag. BUT, my energy level is higher, I’m happier, etc.<\/p>\n
The symlin syringes and vial are major drags. I am keeping an eye out for the promised pen. FYI: On the way out of the elevator from my endo’s appointment I ran into the Amalyn rep, and complained about the vial for us. He said that they really didn’t expect approval when they got it, which is why they came out with the vial. They don’t know when a pen will be coming out. I’m going to bug the 1-800 number about it too. 1-800-349-8919 for those to lazy to go to the Symlin site to look it up \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
I honestly don’t know how next school year is going to go, don’t know what I’m teaching yet, or where, and I’m trying hard not to think about it. I’ve got enough on my mind with the master’s.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
